THE CHOICE BEFORE MANKIND
H. G. Wells Stresses Need For Big Change
CANBERRA, January 13.
Mr. 11. G. Wells, addressing the Science Congress here today, declared that unless humanity made a mighty effort of adjustment it could not escape either self-destruction as a specie's or modification into a more wary, combative, malignant type, tough and hardhearted enough to maintain itself for a longer or shorter age on a wardevastated planet. "Either we adapt ourselves, set ourselves to learn, and organize our adaptation, or the genus homo will culminate tn tin exterminating conqueror living in caverns and fortifications with ne arts but the arte of war and a collection of murderous official secrets in place of science.”
